340 Pubs and Bars found in or around Primrose Hill

For years the Princess of Wales has been a favourite of ours; having been missed in the trendification of Primrose Hill we spent many a happy afternoon in here. Indeed, it won the coveted overall winner in Fancyapint's 2008...

Apparently, way back when, this used to be a cosy, traditional local. We never saw it then, because at some point it was deemed better to gut the place and start again. Outside it seems a serious looking place and we wondered...

Not surprising for the area, the Albert is an old pub that had an upgrade a few years ago now. With good, fresh food being served at Primrose Hill prices, it would be easy to argue that this is a pub bordering on gastro...

It may not be a surprise to find another stripped-out gastropub in trendy northwest London, but you'd be hard-pushed to find one more unappealing. Everyone we speak to has been disparaging of the Lansdowne, accusing it of being...

Being the first pub you come to when travelling to Primrose Hill from Chalk Farm means Pembroke Castle is one of the most popular pubs in the area. It's hard to see exactly why, though. The service is perennially average, if...

The mental image conjured up by St. John's Wood might well consist of elegant Georgian houses, upmarket boutiques and ladies who lunch. But in a rare moment of light relief only minutes away from this potential Richard Curtis...

An honest pub with none of the pub theme park style of décor you seem to get in this area. There's a strong Irish literary theme to the décor - pictures of numerous notables adorn the walls and there are poetry...

In line with the continuing, seemingly unstoppable, historical destruction of Camden Market, At Proud had to move from it's enviable rooftop position and has relocated to what was once the Stables antique market. A former...

You wouldnâ€™t know it but Jo's is run by the same chap who owns the Southampton Arms â€“ a vastly popular real ale paradise up the road in Kentish Town. But this isnâ€™t going to be a CAMRA haunt. Occupying...

The Star is a good example of how pubs used to be. The frosted windows may put off some of the more well-to-do NW8 locals, but inside it's a charming regulars pub in an area which, on the surface, can seem somewhat lacking. The...

This tiny annexe to Belgo Noord is designed as a prequel to eating at the restaurant but it is a perfectly good place to just go for a beer. The music and décor are good and the service is friendly but the highlight is...

Once upon a time Camden's Stables Market contained a rough and ready but bone fide market - we clearly remember traders selling piles of old shoes and various tat. The 1990's seem a long time ago though, and it's now as much of...

The Monarch has finally managed to throw off the last vestiges of its former life as a Wetherspoons. It's no longer family friendly, and there are no real ales left on tap (you might get some expensive ones in bottles if you're...

Once an old spit and sawdust affair, it's now owned by DJ Jon Carter and chums and is more in keeping with the trend-setters of Camden. With its designer black interior, ever changing DJ sets and a mix and match menu the place...

Into its third incarnation in five years, 'The Wash', as they now nickname themselves, has veered back from the precipice of gastrodom. It's been taken over by the Mitchells and Butlers group as part their continually...

The Engine Room, Blakes, Lush...and now Fifty-Five. This poor old Victorian pub has gone through numerous changes over the last few years - with mixed results - but has now moved the focus towards cocktails. Run and staffed by...

This pub is a big old rangy place that is very possibly the template for all those London pubs furnished with curios and knickknacks. Even without the toy carts and fruit bat display looming down over you, there's also a large...

As other pubs move on, smarten up and strip down, the Dublin Castle remains. A hangover from the music scene of the 80's and 90s, this boozer attracts indie kids, rockers and tourists who come to convince themselves Camden...

Half restaurant, half-pub, the Duke of York is exactly the kind of place you'd expect in salubrious St. John's Wood. Tastefully stripped-out, a smattering of the Eastern-style decorations from before a refurbishment are still...
